My experience with Meiji was amazing! The team did a wonderful job getting to know me and my expectations and came up with a plan for my dream internship. My placement was quite spot on! I learnt everything I had set my mind to: Local culture, basic language skills and a solid set of hard skills in Journalism. My colleagues truly became family and it will be incredibly hard to leave them behind.
From experience, I can tell you that it is crucial to do as much research as possible on your host company before going with them. Make sure you know who you’re working for! Another insider tip: Go for start-ups! While big companies might looking hot on your CV, everything you’re gonna do there will be copying & printing (so I have heard) and won’t benefit you skill-wise. Go for smaller companies as you will have maaaany opportunities to take on new projects, try different tasks and implement your own ideas.
Last but not least: Taiwan is a beautiful country with is much history, culture and wonderful people. There is so much to see, do, explore, discover. Taiwan might seem overwhelming at first glance, but really, it isn’t. There is unspoilt nature and everything anyone could wish for. Embrace it!
